An IT industry insider's perspective on information, technology and customer challenges.

April 06, 2015

It's that time of year again -- EMC World in Las Vegas May 4-7. Only a month away!

In my world, EMC World is absolutely the best show to talk storage in all its different aspects. You meet some pretty amazing people there.

For the last two years, we've held small non-disclosure sessions with select folks at the show.

We share some of what we're working on, and we get incredibly valuable feedback on key issues we're debating internally.

We'd like to do it again ... if you're up for it!

So, here's the deal -- if you're way into virtualization and software-defined storage, maybe you'd like to join us? Space is very limited, though. Previous attendees to prior sessions get first priority.

This year, we'll be talking about:

the current VSAN roadmap 2016 and beyond

new proposals on how we manage VSAN ReadyNodes and the VSAN HCL

a new software-defined model for data protection and management

plans for deeper integration with vCloud Air

and a discussion around "cloud native" applications, time permitting

We'll be holding three sessions in a suite at the Venetian, near by:

Monday, May 4th 3-5 pm (partners only, please)

Tuesday, May 5th 3-5 pm (end users and partners)

Wednesday, May 6th 3-5 pm (end users and partners)

If this sounds like something you'd be interested, please drop me an email at chollis@vmware.com In your email, any information you could provide as to what you do, why you're interested, etc. would be very helpful.
